Hello friends, welcome back to a very special bonus episode of ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨  So many of you guys DM'd me on Instagram asking for a guided meditation and I thought what better time of year than as we're all looking ahead into the new year thinking about our dreams, daring to dream again, thinking about what we want to manifest into this next chapter of our lives. So I really hope that this time can allow you to fill your cup, bring in the positive energy that you desire, and really help you tune into gratitude for all the abundance that's already present in your life so that you can help invite more in. And if you've never meditated before, I promise it's not scary. I really invite you to be open minded, to allow your experience to be whatever it is and and I really hope that you come away from the next 15 to 20 minutes feeling some kind of energy shift. You can practice this meditation whenever you like, but I recommend returning to it regularly if you really want these manifestations and visualisations to embed themselves in your psyche. I hope you enjoyed this episode and as always I just want to send you this reminder that no matter where you are in your self confidence journey, no matter how you might feel today, you are always enough. 💛 Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and purpose of the guided meditation 00:28 Intentions and benefits of the guided meditation 01:02 Beginning the meditation: finding a comfortable position 01:43 Tuning into Your Breath 02:21 Deep Cleaning Breaths 03:27 Grounding awareness and releasing tension 05:55 Focus on your heart 07:12 Invoking gratitude 09:01 Turning towards the future 10:56 Creating a path of intention 12:23 Setting a Clear Intention for the Year Ahead 14:03 Returning to Present Moment 14:20 Conclusion and gratitude If you’d like to be featured as the Casual Magic of the week: 💌 Notice a moment of casual magic in your week.
